Guys,

Situation :

2 DCs in the domain, 1 DC acting as a DC only and holds all FSMO roles. 2nd
DC acting as a DC AND serving a 3rd Party Application.

Question: Would like to restrict the third party to only be able to logon to
the 2nd DC to administer the Application/Reboot the server. Can this be done
i.e. esentially giving them like a local admin account like you would on a
member server.

Thanks much

Can't be done.
You could move the app to a member server.

I thought as much, been racking my brain about this for ages. Unforunately no
memeber servers :( Small shop setup... 2 servers... Instead of doing 1
dedicated DC and 1 Dedicated App server, I did 2 DCs for redundancy, and
install the app to one...

Hey ho.... domain admin they will have to have then... I thought maybe
something messy like in the local policy of the other DC specifically deny
logon for the 3rd Party Account, could that work? is it possible?

Nope, DCs don't have a local policy.

Cool... so although gpedit.msc can be fired up on the DC and it says 'Local
Computer Policy' at the root of the tree, any settings made here will be
ignored?

Cheers
